[PATCH 7/7] [POWERPC] Xilinx: Update booting-without-of.

This now better describes what the UBoot device tree generator actually does. In particular:
1) Nodes have a label derived from the device name, and a node name
derived from the device type.
2) Usage of compound nodes (representing more than one device in the same IP) which actually works. This requires having a valid compatible node, and all the other things that a bus normally has. I've chosen 'xlnx,compound' as the bus name to describe these compound nodes.
3) Uartlite requires a port-number property for the console to work.
In addition, I've clarified some of the language relating to how mhs
nodes should be represent in the device tree.

- Some IP cores actually implement 2 or more logical devices. In this case,
